Anyway, back to the subject. I pulled the "weight" and It looks more of a dampener than a weight. Could it be possible that it actually absorbs vibrations? I remember, on the helicopters I used to work, you could place a hand anywhere on acft and no (out of the ordinary) vibrations could be felt, except on one spot close to the overhead area. I could tell when the tail rotor system needed to be "balanced" by just placing my hand on that spot.
Relax people, that is just an opinion.

I'm still going to pop out the weight though (kinda on principal...what kind of f'ed up engeneer ADDS weight to a sport?)
Welllllllll... The adding of weight was (and again I ASSume) for petit women back in Japan.

And it looks like a dampener, kind of, it looks more like the weight itself is dampened.
I haven't noticed any ill-effects from removing it, and if it was just a dampener I assume it would be more rubber, less metal
